Release 2 (August 2006) – Flavonoid content of 392 foods items. Release 2.1 (January 2007) – Flavonoid content of 385 foods [Eliminated the unusually high gallocatechin values from Cacao (NDB No. 97034, Nutrient No. 794) and all the data for the chocolate items (NDB No. 99388, 99389, 99390, 99390, 99391, 99392, 99407, and 99408]. Release 3 (September 2011) – Flavonoid content of 500 food items Release 3.1 (June 2013) – Flavonoid content of 506 food items. Data were added for several different types of table olives and olive oils plus additional data on blueberries (rabbiteye). A number of values were revised, due to errors arising from the use of incorrect conversion factors used or the failure to convert some values to the appropriate units. More detail is provided in the documentation (p.1) A table of “Individual Data” as reported in the original references is also released along with the Release 3.1. i Release 3.1 (December 2013) – The description for raw cowpeas was changed to reflect the fact that the food was immature cowpeas and not mature cowpeas. As a result, the NDB No. 16062 was changed to 11191 and the food group was changed accordingly. The description for cooked eggplant was changed to reflect the fact that the sample analyzed was actually long eggplant. Since this is a different type of eggplant, the NDB No. was changed from 11210 to 99661. The description for cooked mustard greens was changed to reflect the fact that sample analyzed was actually black mustard greens. Since this is a different type of mustard greens, the NDB No. was changed from 11271 to 99662. NDB No. 99401, Olive leaves, was removed. May 2014 Update: Data for Green tea, brewed (NDB No. 14653) have been restored. Suggested Citation: Bhagwat, S., Haytowitz, D.B. Holden, J.M. (Ret.). 2014. USDA Database for the Flavonoid Content of Selected Foods, Release 3.1. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. Nutrient Data Laboratory Home Page: http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata/flav ii Documentation for the USDA Database for Flavonoid Content of Selected foods, Release 3.1 (2013) The scientific community continues to take interest in the types and levels of flavonoids in foods because of the consistent evidence regarding beneficial health effects of dietary flavonoids. Flavonoids, particularly flavan-3-ols and proanthocyanidins, have been associated with reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease by modulating various mechanisms of primary and secondary prevention (Schroeter et al., 2010). Anthocyanidins may also protect LDL cholesterol oxidation through their high antioxidant activity (Erdman et al., 2007). Evidence supporting cancer prevention effects of flavonoids is limited and conflicting, but some organ-specific associations have been reported. Lam et al., (2010) observed an inverse relationship between quercetin-rich food intake and lung cancer in a case-control study in Lombardi region of Italy, while Ekström et al., (2011) observed protection against stomach cancer with high intakes of quercetin in a population study in Sweden. A large volume of analytical data on food flavonoids has been published since the second release of the “USDA Database for the Flavonoid Content of Selected Foods” in January 2007, on Nutrient Data Laboratory’s (NDL) Web site: http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata. Relevant articles published between the second release and the end of 2010 were retrieved and reviewed. One hundred new articles containing data on 26 selected commonly occurring compounds in the five subclasses of the dietary flavonoids were retained for critical evaluation of data quality. The additional valid analytical data were merged with the data included in the updated database released in 2007. After review and statistical analysis, approximately 115 new foods were added into the Release 3 of the updated database. Values were added for additional compounds for some foods published in the earlier database. The updated database included source documents citing research conducted in the U.S. and also in 50 other countries. Release 3.1 of the flavonoids database contains data on some new food items - different kinds of table olives and olive oils data from seven articles and additional data on blueberries (rabbit eye) from one article. A number of corrections were also made due to the use of the wrong conversion factors or failure to convert some values reported as mg/kg or mg/L into mg/100g (two articles on wine and one on orange juice). The changes in values due to incorrect conversion factors were very minor and may not have any impact on the final means of the aggregated data. Similarly changes due to unit conversion did not affect the mean values for wines greatly due to large quantity of data available on wines. The mean value for hesperetin in orange juice, raw (NDB 09206), changed considerably and was reduced to 11.95 mg/100g from 20.39 mg/100g. 1 Isoflavones are not included in this database. A separate database, the “USDA- Iowa State University Database on the Isoflavone Content of Foods” first released in 1999 was updated in 2008 and released on the NDL web site. Similarly, proanthocyanidins are not included in this database because a separate database, the “USDA Database for the Proanthoycanidin Content of Selected Foods” was released on NDL’s web site in August 2004. Subclasses of flavonoids and selected compounds The database contains values for 506 food items and for 26 predominant dietary flavonoids that belong to the five subclasses reported below: FLAVONOLS: Isorhamnetin, Kaempferol, Myricetin, Quercetin (Figure 1) FLAVONES: Apigenin, Luteolin (Figure 2) FLAVANONES: Eriodictyol, Hesperetin, Naringenin (Figure 3) FLAVAN-3-OLS: (+)-Catechin, (+)-Gallocatechin, (-)-Epicatechin, (-)- Epigallocatechin, (-)-Epicatechin 3-gallate, (-)-Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (Figure 4), Theaflavin, Theaflavin 3-gallate, Theaflavin 3’-gallate, Theaflavin 3,3’-digallate (Figure 5), Thearubigins ANTHOCYANIDINS: Cyanidin, Delphinidin, Malvidin, Pelargonidin, Peonidin, Petunidin (Figure 6) Methods and Procedures used to generate the database Only those data generated by acceptable analytical procedures are included. Acceptable procedures are defined as those which lead to good separation of flavonoid compounds (e.g., column chromatography or high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC], capillary zone electrophoresis, micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography). Studies that contained data generated by thin layer or paper chromatography, radioimmunoassay (RIA), pH differential methods or only spectrophotometric quantitation were not retained due to the lack of specificity of these methods. Similarly, values for total flavonoids or only the totals by subclass of flavonoids were not included, as the objective was to collect

  • Dietary Plant Polyphenols: Effects of Food Processing on Their Content and Bioavailability
    molecules Review Dietary Plant Polyphenols: Effects of Food Processing on Their Content and Bioavailability Leila Arfaoui Department of Clinical Nutrition, Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, P.O. Box 80324, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia; [email protected]; Tel.: +966-0126401000 (ext. 41612) Abstract: Dietary plant polyphenols are natural bioactive compounds that are increasingly attracting the attention of food scientists and nutritionists because of their nutraceutical properties. In fact, many studies have shown that polyphenol-rich diets have protective effects against most chronic diseases. However, these health benefits are strongly related to both polyphenol content and bioavailability, which in turn depend on their origin, food matrix, processing, digestion, and cellular metabolism. Although most fruits and vegetables are valuable sources of polyphenols, they are not usually con- sumed raw. Instead, they go through some processing steps, either industrially or domestically (e.g., cooling, heating, drying, fermentation, etc.), that affect their content, bioaccessibility, and bioavail- ability. This review summarizes the status of knowledge on the possible (positive or negative) effects of commonly used food-processing techniques on phenolic compound content and bioavailability in fruits and vegetables. These effects depend on the plant type and applied processing parameters (type, duration, media, and intensity). This review attempts to shed light on the importance of more comprehensive dietary guidelines that consider the recommendations of processing parameters to take full advantage of phenolic compounds toward healthier foods.

Received: 19 October 2010; in revised form: 3 November 2010 / Accepted: 4 November 2010 / Published: 8 November 2010 Abstract: Among the wide diversity of naturally occurring phenolic acids, at least 30 hydroxy- and polyhydroxybenzoic acids have been reported in the last 10 years to have biological activities. The chemical structures, natural occurrence throughout the plant, algal, bacterial, fungal and animal kingdoms, and recently described bioactivities of these phenolic and polyphenolic acids are reviewed to illustrate their wide distribution, biological and ecological importance, and potential as new leads for the development of pharmaceutical and agricultural products to improve human health and nutrition. Keywords: polyphenols; phenolic acids; hydroxybenzoic acids; natural occurrence; bioactivities 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds exist in most plant tissues as secondary metabolites, i.e. they are not essential for growth, development or reproduction but may play roles as antioxidants and in interactions between the plant and its biological environment. Phenolics are also important components of the human diet due to their potential antioxidant activity [1], their capacity to diminish oxidative stress- induced tissue damage resulted from chronic diseases [2], and their potentially important properties such as anticancer activities [3-5].

Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body. Keywords: antioxidant activity; bioavailability; flavonoids; health benefits; phenolic compounds 1.

Phytochemical studies on the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Centaurea scoparia ledtotheisolationof two new flavonoids, 3 ,4 -dihydroxy-(3 ,4 -dihydro-3 -hydroxy-4 -acetoxy)-2 ,2 -dimethylpyrano-(5 ,6 :7,8)-flavone-3-O-- D-glucopyranoside (1)and3,3,4 -trihydroxy-(3 ,4 -dihydro-3 ,4 -dihydroxy)-2 ,2 -dimethylpyrano-(5 ,6 :7,8)-flavone (2), along with eight known flavonoids isolated for the first time from this plant, cynaroside (3), Apigetrin (4), centaureidin (5), oroxylin A(6), 5,7-dihydroxy-3 ,4 ,5 -trimethoxyflavone (7), atalantoflavone (8), 5-hydroxy-3 ,4 ,8-trimethoxy-2 ,2 -dimethylpyrano (5 ,6 :6,7)-flavone (9), and 3 ,4 ,5,8-tetramethoxy-2 ,2 -dimethylpyrano (5 ,6 :6,7)-flavone (10). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by means of spectroscopic tools including 1D and 2D NMR, UV,IR, and mass spectroscopy.
